No to Coal Plant in Subic Bay

Welcome to No to Coal Plant in Subic Bay

WELCOME FRIENDS, JOIN THE GROUP & SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN!

NO TO COAL PLANT IN SUBIC BAY is a page group of environmental and renewable energy advocates. We seized the opportunity and leverage the power of social network in particular and social media in general to reach out individual friends and groups of people locally and globally, and develop a determined and strong protest campaign against the construction of COAL-FIRED THERMAL POWER PLANT IN SUBIC BAY.

We aspire for an environment-friendly alternative to generate energy and work collectively for a better world, where all communities are healthy and safe, and where abundance of the earth is preserved for all the generations to come.

Feel free to post on our wall, make any comments, suggestions or questions you may have. The page administrator and /or group members will respond accordingly.

No to Coal Plant in Subic Bay

War to save the environment will never be over.

In case members of this No to Coal Plant in Subic Bay group does not know it yet, Zambales is hosting one of the dirtiest coal plant in existence. This is one concrete example of a war which was lost and leaders surrendered. Because if they haven't, then the Provincial Board and the Governor have so much ammunition at their disposal such as:

1. Pass a resolution to stop its operation.
2. Block all roads leading to the plant to stop its operation.
3. Cut utilities and supplies going to the plant to weaken their resolve to continue.
4. Like the good Rev. Father Shay Cullen did, the true leaders can tie themselves on the gates of the plant to block vehicles and workers from going to and from the plant.
5. Supporters can lay or encamp on the grounds leading to the plant to block the facility.
6. Ask the court that the plant's operation is illegal for the court to stop its operation.
7. Stage a protest rally in the gates of malacanang palace to force PNoy to surrender
8. do the same at the DENR office and the EMB to retract
9. and so on and so forth

There are really a hundred ways to stop the coal plant in Subic but are we really that serious or this group is another all talk no act group that like most mortals has all the ideas but none of the courage and the true dedication to the cause that is willing to sacrifice and fight it to its end.

Isigaw ng nagkakaisa at buong lakas... No to Coal Plant in Subic Bay!

we have been to so many fights againts the past... pinatubo, base pull out, edsa 1 & 2, battle of 229, cubi port etc.. our fights are agaist goliath (yes many times against the president like this coal fight), and yes we won some and lost many times. I would be very happy if this group can even equal the resolve we had in those fights.

a mere black ribbon, signature campaign, petition, march ( which will have very low turn-out i am sure ) will make us win this one, only the pulitikos will benifit from it i am telling you! in fact as we start the blockade and extra legal means to win this one, wou will start noticing the pulitikos inching away and making themselves safe from harm and legal proglems.

salamat sa pagmamahal nyo sa kalikasan

mabuhay po tayong lahat!

Greenpeace is proposing that government immediately draws up plans for the massive deployment in Mindanao of renewable energy projects, which are increasingly becoming more cost-effective and more reliable, compared to fossil fuels. According to the Greenpeace report, “The Philippine Energy [R]evolution Roadmap to 2020”, as much as 80 percent of the energy requirements in Mindanao by 2020 can be met by renewable energy sources, such as wind, geothermal and solar, which are abundant in the area.

Greenpeace, together with Mindanao-based groups, today challenged President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to scrap current energy plans for Mindanao and “start from scratch.” The environment watchdog laments that solutions put forth to meet the growing energy requirements in Mindanao rely mostly on n...

MORE REASON… WHY RP ENERGY ECC MUST BE CANCELED AND NEVER BE GRANTED FOREVER?

COAL PLANT SITE IS EARTHQUAKE PRONE!

RP Energy Admits:

“Tectonic features of Philippine archipelago indicate that the Manila trench is found west of the proposed project site. A north-south trending belt of volcanoes, which include Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Natib and Mount Mariveles are found east of the proposed project site. Recently, PHIVOLCS has declared Mount Natib as a potential active volcano, while the east Zambales Fault, which separates the mountain range of Zambales from the Central Luzon Basin, has been declared as an active volcano.”

“Moderate seismic activity has been detected in the area since the project site is near three prominent seismic faults as published by PHIVOLCS. These are the Iba Fault situated north of Subic, the East Zambales Fault parallel to Zambales Coast line and the Philippine Fault Zone.”

Jasmine SantiagoQUESTIONS to RP energy:
1. So, why build the coal plant in a geologically active location?
2. What if a strong earthquake strikes and damages the ash ponds and leak million tons of coal ash to Subic Bay?

http://youtu.be/SeXG8K5_UvU maybe they can do it in other place but not in SBMA.Bataan is not bad too?.I don't know also especially if theres a lot of earthquake in our place if this will not damaged the invironment.

You know I get so weary from the battles in this life
And as many times it seems that you're the only hope in sight
Is it mine, oh Lord, is it mine?

I am not surprised that this proposal for a Subic coal plant is like the mythical hydra, you cut one head it becomes bigger and stronger. Why? Because oligarchs are behind this. Danding Cojuangco's San Miguel Power is one of the proponents. He bankrolled his nephews campaign last elections right? Let us see what happens...
